Tilden, captain of the American team, faced what was re- garded as the stiffest opposition in Robert G. Kinsey. Big Bill was pronounced in superb condition. The Tilden-Kensey match was the scc- ond on today’s program. The first scheduled match was between John Hennessey, United States, and Ricardo Tapia, Mexico. Mexico. Tapia, a youth of 18, has been un- der Kinsey’s tutelage for more than a year and has a style suggestive of Vincent Richards—fine in volleying.
